In the preview of the IBJJF HW GP, Maine and Ryan are unable to pick who they think will take the championship between the stars scheduled to compete at the event. Even with all of the card changes this event is still looking like it will be amazing with the likes of Matheus Diniz, Lucas "Hulk" Barbosa Cyborg, Current IBJJF No Gi world champion Tim Spriggs, Current ADCC Champion Yuri Simoes, Patrick Gaudio, Perennial top world contender Joao Gabriel Rocha, and Luiz Panza. This is not one to miss.
